He has one year on his contract and Wenger made some interesting comments on him. After their final match according to @LeFrenchGooner he is quoted as saying "I know Arsenal are after me. But there's nothing at the moment. My decision is personal. I just want to enjoy tonight.". French commentators were saying Grimandi was at the stadium today to watch the final game of the French season where he scored a peach of a freekick.

Lyon Aulas said after the match "We can't close the door, Arsenal are a big club. Grenier told me he'll stay if we're in the CL." Also quoted as saying he is worth 37mil Euros!

Any French football watchers here? What do you guys think of him

He can do a fat one. Shit.

He's not worshipped that's for sure (remember reading the Kos thread on a Lorient forum before we signed him and they loved him).
From the bits and pieces that I read: he's technically gifted, shows flashes of genius, can pull the strings in midfield or can go missing.
He seems injury prone and not exactly what you'd call robust.
He's certainly not at the level of development or maturity where we could count on him to significantly improve our midfield.
A gamble, a project.
Most worryingly the player he was most often compared to was Gourcuff

Here's the goal

I think there might be something in this. Timbo says he's similar to Platini and Zidane. High praise.

Bold Tone

As a non French football watcher who knows nought about him, but recently burnt by Gervinho and Giroud, i would like to ignorantly but politely say
"je ne want him or any of his mates pas!"

Timbob

He is like Platini and Zidane...when he's having a BAD game.

Klaus

He will be same or better than Zidane according to Tim and Pepe.

Pepe LeFrits

Hopefully he's replacing Rosicky.

Joueur inutile, à vendre au plus vite

C'est clair que ses stats sont pas mal du tout. Et puis, ses deux cf sont tout simplement magnifiques. Mais, il reste un dix, et son influence sur le jeu est le strict minimum attendu ...

Timbob

What dat mean?

y va marquer

He's useless, sell him ASAP
His stats aren't bad, the two free kicks he scored were spectacular, but his influence on games is the very minimum required/expected

frusciante

he also has better hair than zidane

Smells like Nasri mk2.

y va marquer

Well he has more of it, not sure it's better...

Gazza M

we've wrapped up the new diaby, might as well wrap up the new nasri while we're at it

Here we go again... enough with these average shits

The only thing we can hope for is that he turns into someone who keep scoring long range shots and freekicks ala Bale. If he can be like Juninho, decent on the ball, okay in creating but keep scoring screamers I am fine.

Anyway let's just hope he is here to replace Arshavin's position in the squad and not some marquee signing. Thinking about it we don't have special young players in the squad anymore.

Timbob

Its just a rumour, calm down.
